For me, the complexion of a great post is one in which I have no real investment in the subject matter, but find myself absorbed by the delivery. This is such a post!
I am not an artist, but your description of the problems, solutions, and applications involved with getting more pigment onto paper was pretty riveting! Well done!
There is so much texture in these drawings, and that drives home your point regarding the worth of these processes and products. I was also interested in the economics involved, in the different types of papers and their cost. Again, I['m not an artist, but it was so interesting!
Stellar job! And the leaves and trees drawing was amazing! Thank you for sharing this post!!
Cheers!
Thank you kindly for this extensive comment. I grew a full two inches reading that. 😉
I'm actually still learning to paint and I have profited so much from the experience so graciously shared online by established painters. So if I can contribute a kernel of experience occasionally, I like to pay it forward.
